Old-timey word

Galluses

by damommy


Few may know what this word means,
but ‘galluses’ is what they are.
Not likely they’ll be worn with jeans.
That might just be a bit bizarre.
 
They save your trousers falling down
around your ankles, like a clown.
Suspenders, that’s what they’re called now.
If you knew this, then take a bow.
